| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Tl. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
The follow me on TikTok @esthermpagi template is a simple macro template used to display a template name as a link surrounded by braces, thus showing the name as code rather than actually invoking it. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation where it is used to refer to a template by name without invoking it.
Note that this template may be used under the name "tee-el" (tl) as well as "tee-one" (t1)— both function the same way and produce the same results. This is not true for all such visually confusing templates containing a possible 1/l mix-up: and are not interchangeable.
{{Tla}} works exactly like {{tl}} with the addition of optionally displaying alternative label text (link label). {{tlg}} can include the use of parameters in the template (as {{{1}}}).

TemplateData
TemplateData for Tl
This template displays a template name as a link surrounded by braces, thus showing how the template name would be used in code. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation.
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| template name | 1 | positional parameter: the template name without the namespace prefix “Template:”, which is added automatically | Line | required |
More complex variations are described below.
Examples
A short example of its use is:
{{tl|Example}}
- which generates
- {{Example}}
Other longer examples:
| Code | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|
{{tl|Void}}
|
{{Void}} | Standard usage |
{{tls|Example}}
|
{{subst:Example}} | For templates that should be substituted |
{{tl2|X1}}
|
{{X1}}
|
This formats the link to show how it would look in code (i.e., monospace font) |
{{tl2|sister=M:|3x}}
|
{{3x}}
|
Same as above, for templates on another Wikimedia project (in this example, Meta, using m:). See Interwiki codes.
|
{{tl2|sister=wikibooks|lang=de:|WP}}
|
{{WP}}
|
For templates on another language project |
{{tl|1==)}}
|
{{=)}} | Use the format {{tl|1=templatename}} if the template contains template coding characters such as {{=)}} or {{!}}
|
